Which French consulate covers Bozeman?
In France's US network, Montana comes under the Consulate General of France in San Francisco.
San Francisco is 1,025 miles from Bozeman by road, so the Registre decides the plan: on it, one long trip, and the passport is mailed back if you provide a FedEx envelope; off it, a second journey just to collect it, without an appointment, Monday to Friday 9:30 am to 12:30 pm.
The ID card is never mailed, and no honorary consul of the San Francisco district with a published office is within 250 miles of Bozeman: count on two trips for it.
San Francisco also takes passports on the road: in 2026 it held a mission in Boise (June 8 to 10, 2026, fully booked), 291 miles from Bozeman in a straight line, for people on its Registre; its outreach page announces the next ones (source).
